Objective 1 is to prepare graduates who will create new ways to meet society's needs through the application of fundamentals of engineering science to important practical problems using design, analysis, and synthesis of aerospace components, systems, and tools, and through basic and applied research.

Solve elementary problems in mechanics and electricity and magnetism, and knowledge of mechanics in depth

Knowledge of fundamental general chemistry

Ability to program in a current programming language, and basic knowledge of algorithm and data structure

Strategy and Action 2

Provide a suite of courses covering the theory and fundamental application of engineering sciences including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, solid mechanics, dynamics and control, and electronics, as well as, the fundamentals of modern design engineering

Outcomes:

Knowledge of thermodynamics and its applications, basic fluid mechanics, materials, and the ability to apply electronics

Experience in the application of CAD/CAM techniques to aerospace systems

Strategy and Action 3

Require advanced knowledge of aerodynamics and flight mechanics, including space flight, control systems and aerospace materials and propulsion
